@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 May CICnews Canada is now providing trans Americans with Canadian ancestry expedited processing of citizenship applications, some in as little as 2 weeks as thousands have applied in order to have a back-up to their U.S. citizenship.

The term “interim docket” not only dramatically minimizes the very real (and often permanent) effects of #SCOTUS’s behavior, but it also whitewashes the disappearance of “irreparable harm” from the Court’s analysis—the very point that (supposedly) makes the request an “emergency” in the first place:

RE: https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/116558499921978341 Finally had a chance to read Sotomayor’s dissent from the shadow docket order. She was joined by Kagan and Jackson, so all six of the justices in the tank for Trump and Republican Fascism were on board with stopping an election […]

I had somehow missed that the fascist surveillance company had cooked up a sad little fashion line for soulless manbaby shitweasels how adorable, you working overtime for the kakistocracy in your robin egg blue frump coat

A scary quick calculation: there are 10,375 Starlink satellites in orbit https://planet4589.org/space/con/conlist.html, all coming down within 5 years. That's an *average* of 5 or 6 a day for the next 5 years. And the v2's are bigger than the v1's. v2's are (conservatively) 1000kg and […]

kegbreath is too drunk to realize he, himself, from fully public and open statements, is being quoted. Remove him from office and ban him from future federal office, now. #uspol #hegseth #hegsethpete #dod #impeach

Canaries in a coal mine.There is also the Walmart Index. When stocks in Walmart goes up, it means more people are shopping there to save money, instead of pricier stores.

It’s a big deal that the Union of Concerned Scientists @ucs.org is going directly after the Highway Lobby for the unprecedented damage they’ve done to cities and transportation. Spread the word. #UrbanTruth

“The process of relocating people from New Orleans should start immediately, as the city has reached a point of no return that will see it surrounded by ocean within decades due to the #ClimateCrisis, a stark new study has concluded.” The consequence of believing we “can’t afford #ClimateAction.”

Wait, what⁉️ US healthcare marketplaces shared citizenship and race data with ad tech giants… Almost all of the 20 U.S. state government-run health insurance marketplaces shared residents’ application information with advertising and tech giants, including Google, LinkedIn, Meta, and Snap […]

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

John Roberts likes being political. He just doesn't like the accountability that comes with it. https://www.lawdork.com/p/john-roberts-likes-being-political

Where is the Virginia State Police? Why aren’t the stopping potus from raiding one of their state senators for transparently political reasons? #USpol #VApol

I am once again begging old people to learn basic email etiquette. The correct time to use "reply all" is never.

WATCH: “How are you proposing a map and you don’t know anything about it?” 🤔 Sen. John Stevens shamelessly pretends not to know 🤷🏼Memphis is majority-Black as Sen. london lamar grills him about racist Republican 9-0 congressional maps. (because for lawsuit reasons they can’t admit it’s about race)

Another beauuutiful Venn diag!

Thinking of Trump's FBI raiding Louise Lucas' office today...

This is a minor complaint, but it would be nice if people on here would put a hashtag sports on their sports posts so I could ignore them.

Almost like cars have some sort of ideological hold on us, independent of any supporting facts or statistics.

This is so unwise to post, but: Data centers do a ton of things we rely on and we will need more. They‘re also a perfect target for vicious reforms. “Zero new data centers without [X large percent renewables] plus siting away from residential and nothing off-grid,” or what have you.

Remember, this was the party of "patriots"

This is surprisingly interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rXYej6R4is Despite their use of "bro" for a postitive title "the ceo is a bro" meaning "the ceo is good" lol.

I really need @frameworkcomputer to do two things: Come to FSM over their support of that fascist ruby guy and Add some kind of enterprise support so I can get my company to switch from dell to framework for linux and probably windows boxes.

This feels wise for the #eu: “We don't need a "European [add US social media platform]" – that would be just a different kind of centralised trap – we need a commitment to open protocols for our digital infrastructure. By moving our digital hangouts and town squares to decentralised protocols […]

LISTEN⏵The shooter wasn’t the biggest evil at the #whcd last night. That honor belongs to every journalist who thought it was a good idea to be there given the appalling treatment of the press by this rogue Trump regime. What the fuck were you thinking? (Reposts = agreement)

Hey all, I recently moved my longer form writing from Substack to Ghost. I write a lot about what keeps our communities safe — and how it sure isn’t what the Trump regime is telling us. Check out my essays, subscribe and share ⬇️⬇️ dot-connecting.ghost.io

Today I wrote about our grotesque cultural flat-eartherism, an apparently regretful Dave Chappelle, an apparently apologetic Tucker Carlson, and the pressing need to use discernment if we would change a culture of abuse into a culture of healing. www.the-reframe.com/incredible-c...

Is it just me, or is mastodon.social having issues? I'm getting tons of 404s for no reason.

Damn

I mean it's not like the mayor who ran one of the most underdog campaigns in US history and who has been slaying it dead on the actual issues would be capable of thinking two entire steps ahead wrt pissing off very rich people or anything

Those Conservative motherfuckers. Nova Scotia could have fracking operations by July. In Nova Scotia we depend on our ground water. It is very finite, without price, and once those goobers have fracked it, the damage is forever. A fucking moment, a flash of money for Rodney Richpigge, who you […]

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

Wanted to reply to someone with this the other day, but couldn't find it, but now I have it!

When you die, your family will be charged $100 for every time you've ever honked your car horn. I cannot tell you how I know this, but please just understand with all sober certainty how very important it is that you never again honk your car horn.

Miles Taylor: In tRump's America, fighting back against the #kkk is now basically an act of "terrorism." The Justice Department brought charges against a major civil rights organization. This will be Trump's template for prosecuting the entire American left. #Trump #KashPatel #FBI #splc […]
